This is just a guess, but you may have a problem with your cookie setting. Initially, my browser was displaying long session ids in the URLs. After I bounced in/out of your site it appears that a cookie was written to my machine, which removed the session ID and just put the basic post reference. Problem is that some spiders never have a cookie, so the session id be be a larger issue. URL Session IDs aren't good for SEO.

Change your style sheet setting (store stylesheets as files), so that all of the css code is out of the way.

There are a lot of ads on your site, but if they are all paying advertisers maybe SEO doesn't need to be that critical. However, if they were out of the way, it would help put more relevant content within reach of spiders.

Try using some conditionals to remove items guest users wouldn't need, such as the FAQ or Calendar. Remove the dynamic elements that display. Anything that would lighten the load for guest users, because that is what search engines see.

Don't display anything or any links that guest users can't see. For example, I clicked on an am image link and was presented with a registration page. It is expected in some cases, but you've got too many links that require registration to see, that doesn't help SEO either.

I'm a believer in vbSEO, because it's URL and HTML re-writing features can make a significant positive impact - probably more significant for you than most site owners. For example, it will wipe away virutally all of the comment tags in your HTML code. However, making such a change on the number of posts you've got will likely reduce your rankings for a while. You could have both old and new URL versions available, which is a feature of vbseo, but that doesn't help SEO either.

I took two year old site, installed vbseo, and killed that site's rankings. It recovered after six months. That site didn't have enough pages with unique/useful content frequently searched by users.

On another site, I installed vbseo and traffic increased exponentially every month. Technically I changed hundreds of thousands of URLs, which killed SEO for a few days, but that site had lots of unique content bits that were frequently requested on search engines. Google was quick to update it's indexes and move on.

Hope this helps,
